but the general interpretation of someone almost dying and the rest of us pointing our fingers at them and laughing as you imply with your statement: "we laugh at others suffering" is slightly extreme in comparison to someone being knocked over by a manic dog or goat or whatever on Who's been Framed

Typical
Rugby twats. Usually good with their fists towards women and then faking injury to themselves on the pitch. Woo for the pic though.

They could have used proper cosmetic industry fake blood, they could have got pig's blood from a butcher
Did they? No. They just bought some joke blood from down the road. Joke blood that looks like joke blood.
Then, as the victim spat out an entire artery's worth of fake blood like some kind of bulimic vampire, he limped off the pitch. To make it even more believable.
Apparently the joke store they got the blood from now has a sign up above the product saying as 'Bought by Harlequins rugby club.' Do agree it looked like dreadful b film blood. So was the acting.

Brilliant
I want a poster of that .... please. Boring fact is that building generated the phrase "23 Skidoo" a name also used for an early 80's post punk/funk outfit. Basically involved men hanging around outside waiting for some hot female ankle action due to the winds generated around the building which would catch their dresses and reveal some leg.

I have my moments
though they are few. Actually remember this bit of information from an open top bus tour of New York. It was peeing down with rain but being British we thought this was great weather and insisted on sitting on the open top deck.... Alone. Tis an iconic building though and three eyed lemons and ducks compliment it perfectly.

Well im saying old enough to remember them....
I was born the year this album was released, but used to work at a soft rock radio for 4 years from 16 to 20 so my musical tastes where warped to that genre and a kind of 60s/70s/80s soft rock twist.

altho I still listen to old music
I think that music has never been as good as it has been for the last five years, especially "urban", my favourite music nowadays is gangsta rap (which always suprises and amuses my friends)

I must say i have been suprised...
people like the ting tings, kings of leon, elbow, the script have come out with some really good music that should stand the test of time (as supertramp continue... infact i defy you to spot a movie WITHOUT a supertramp song in, they are really pervasive)

And it's almost as fast as the 1D3!
Those are mental specs, though the great unknown (assuming this leaked information if accurate) is what crop it will be, 1.6 or 1.3. With those specs there is no way on earth it could be FF; if so, Nikon would be redundant overnight. At the very least they are going to get a serious mauling if this camera information is correct, because what on earth have they got up their sleeve with the 1D4 and 1Ds4?

why the hell would anyone need
a picture 4000 pixels across?
Surely that's nearing the limit of human vision. Aren't old films scanned at 4k or something?

Professional photographers? ;)
www.phaseone.com/ Some of these babies throw out files at 180mb, though they tend to be the preserve of pros who shoot for Vogue or hire one to do a billboard
The more detail you can capture the more detail you have to play with. I can get asked seemingly ridiculous image requirements, and ultimately it's a question of if you can, then why not? There is always something quite amusing about saving a 100mb .tif for a publisher
Fun tiems :)

What sort of resolution pics do you usually take of your animals?
Note how it doesn't really feature on DSLRs other than random settings (Nikon at 300, Canon at 240, Sony at 180), and doesn't appear anywhere in Photoshop other than resizing images. About twice a year I have the same pointless argument with someone I work with when they insist on a minimum of 300 dpi, and I try and explain it's completely meaningless, because some publisher we're using doesn't understand their job
Such arguments inevitably end with me supplying something completely meaningless like a jpg with a 'resolution' of 24000 or as meaningless as I can get Photoshop to do. They don't seem to understand it's their printer where they set the resolution, not the digital data fed through it

indeed
i really loved the days of film when i would blast through 10 rolls of 220, have it professionally scanned, then sent to a magazine printer who didn't have a clue :/
It actually makes me chuckle just thinking about the head-in-hand moments I've had over the years dealing with clueless people, adjusting something to 25000 in Photoshop just to fucking please them when all words are lost, supplying that, and never hearing any feedback along the lines "of like wow man!"
And seeing something in print exactly how it would of been if I had left it at 72 DPI (my old 40D default)
